BACKGROUND
Following Superstorm Sandy, my team and I developed an integrated digital communications strategy that included earned, owned and paid media driving to a consumer engagement hub powered by a YELP API as a frictionless tool for encouraging and driving tourism for all things Jersey Shore-related.

The “Stronger Than the Storm” tourism-driven campaign demonstrated the resilience and pride of the Jersey Shore communities.
RESULTS
In just over three months, the effort resulted in a 5.5% increase in hotel revenue, 79% of visitors said the campaign influenced them to visit the Shore, and it also led to the creation of over 6,400 jobs.
